Solution

The correct option is D Partial/parietal
In organisms that produce eggs with little yolk, the zygote divides by holoblastic cleavage. In such cleavages, the entire cells is divided equally.
Eggs cells that have larger quantities of yolk undergo meroblastic cleavage after fertilization, in which only a portion of the zygote undergoes cleavage.
So, the correct answer is 'Partial/parietal'
